Young Marine Obligation –From this day forward, I sincerely promise, I will set an example for all other youth to follow and I shall never do anything that would bring disgrace or dishonor upon my God, my Country and its flag, my parents, myself or the Young Marines. These I will honor and respect in a manner that will reflect credit upon them and myself. Semper Fidelis.

Pledge of Allegiance –

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Young Marine Creed – (#3)

2.Keep myself neat at all times without other people telling me to.

4.Keep my mind alert to learn in school, at home, or at play.
